Portuguese wines served during a guided tasting in Cartaxo
Highly recommended! Mark

We recently have had the great pleasure to visit the winery. We were greeted by hosts Pede and his wife. And they welcomed us as if we were family. After a brief introduction we were given a first hand tour of the fields and production faculty. And then the best part was the sampling of both the White and Red varieties of wine. These wines were complimented by fine food samples of the local community. We learned of the goal to create a high quality, clean and tasteful wine in small quantities. They have succeeded! And we love the way they support their community and region.

Wonderful experience! Pamelyn Reuss

We had a wonderful private tour with the owners. They are so proud of and excited about their vineyard as they should be. The wine was delicious. They are going to the pride of the area in no time. We even got to taste the just pressed grape juice and it was perfect. They also arranged for a tour of the local wine museum for us after we left. What a wonderful place and time!
